The presidential politics of this election year is a fitting context for a recent book talk at McDaniel College on the arcane, distinctive and uniquely byzantine political history of Maryland
"Maryland Politics and Government: Democratic Dominance," written by John Willis and Herbert Smith is a 432-page look at Maryland's political identity. The book was released this past January, part of the Politics and Governments of the American States series by the University of Nebraska Press.
"It's truly a labor of love," said Smith, who has been a professor of political science and international studies at McDaniel College since 1973.
Willis is the director of the government and public policy program at the University of Baltimore. He served as Maryland's secretary of state from 1995 to 2003 and is also the author of another book, "Presidential Elections in Maryland." … http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0930-20120926,0,2507354.story

Two longtime political

topics including the Maryland identity, political history, and interest groups;
the three branches of state government; and policy areas such as taxation,

Smith and Willis also
establish a “Two Marylands” model that explains the dominance of the Maryland
Democratic Party, established in the post–Civil War era, that persists to this
day even in a time of political polarization. Unique in its scope, detail, and
coverage, Maryland Politics and Government sets the standard for understanding
the politics of the Free State (or, alternately, the Old Line State) for years
to come.
